A special device that is not affected by other gases is necessary so that it can detect such gases. Zeolite membranes can separate the desired component selectively by molecular sieving and selective adsorption. LTA-, MFI-, and FAU-type zeolite membranes were prepared in this study, and the permeation and separation performances were determined for the ternary mixture of NH3, H2S, and N2 to develop an NH3 selectively permeable membrane. Although the separation factors of NH3 were high enough for the LTA-type zeolite membrane, the NH3 permeance was the lowest among the three membranes. In contrast, the FAU-type zeolite membrane with Si\/Al = 1.35 showed a high enough NH3 permeance and a NH3\/N2 separation factor. The membrane modification and varying the membrane composition were carried out to reduce the H2S permeance. As a result, the H2S permeance could be decreased by modification with silane coupling agents, and a separation factor of NH3 toward H2S of over 3000 was achieved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes11050348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,10]],"date-time":"2021-05-10T05:30:08Z","timestamp":1620624608000},"page":"348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Development of Ammonia Selectively Permeable Zeolite Membrane for Sensor in Sewer System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Hisao","family":"Inami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hitachi Ltd., Research &amp; Development Group, 832-2 Horiguchi, Hitachinaka 312-0034, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chie","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Research Institute for Chemical Process Technology, 4-2-1 Nigatake, Sendai 983-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8851-3561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasuhisa","family":"Hasegawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Research Institute for Chemical Process Technology, 4-2-1 Nigatake, Sendai 983-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2002).
